Well, there seems to be a bit of capacity in reserve, then

It would be interesting for me to know what STAT (and ideally QPAC2 too..) does with disks > 4TB on QPC2 and SMSQmulator. Obviously, MDxxx is not able to do better than the platform it is on as It relies in large part on system calls. Q-emulator, I believe, simply limits the size of host OS devices it is prepared to support. That seems to me to be the sensible approach. I mean, why would anyone in the QL universe want to know about petabyte hard disks and beyond..?Andrew wrote: Tue Mar 18, 2025 12:59 pmI did some tests a few weeks ago - up to 4 TB is ok, beyond 4TB the info is not correct, but at least is not crashing. I will test again today.
But i found a possible bug in MDFree - i will document it, with steps.

Id be very glad to get your feedback! (Sorry for all the trouble youre having with it!)Andrew wrote: Tue Mar 18, 2025 12:59 pmI did some tests a few weeks ago - up to 4 TB is ok, beyond 4TB the info is not correct, but at least is not crashing. I will test again today.

Yes, all my programming projects are starting to pile up..

4TB... and that's just for the QL software he writes

My QL is a stock with 896KB RAM, a Trump Card and a José Leandro's QubIDE with a 128Mb drive, partitioned in 3 units (win1, win2, win3) of the same size. In QubIDE systems, only win1 is mounted by default at boot.Andrew wrote: Mon Mar 17, 2025 10:38 pmAt line 15345 I call MDFREE that calculates the free space in drive. MDFREE is part of Per's toolkit MDINFO.javier2112 wrote: Mon Mar 17, 2025 9:43 pm 1) If I set up an unmounted partition as initial path for a panel, QLC displays the following message error:
"Task QLC227M4 halted, after line 15345. Reason: not found."
Then QLC closes. In v21, it beeps but doesn't close.
In v2.1 I did not displayed the free space on drive, so I didn't used MDINFO ...
I cannot replicate this bug on my systems (QPC, Q68, QL+SGC+QL-SD)
So I need more details about your system: memory, storage (Qubide, QL-SD or QIMSI). When you say "unmounted partition" my guess is that you are using a QUBIDE.
I have no idea how to test if a partition is mounted or not. Maybe someone knows and can help!!
I've been trying hard last QLC beta and I've discovered another fail that ocurrs when trying to view o extract the contents of a zip file whose file name contains some spaces. For example, you'll get a "Not found error" with a file called "flp1_PE guide". I suppose QLC makes a call similar to:
EX unzip;"-d whateverpath flp1_PE guide"
This obviously fails, but can be easily corrected with inner single quotes (or the other way):
EX unzip;"-d whateverpath 'flp1_PE guide'"
Another fail arises also when trying to view o extract the contents of a zip file, when you exited from QLC and re-entering it twice o more times. QLC doesn't display any error but no contents of the zip file. Maybe to load QLC code as an extension causes the problem, because its memory is not freed and the extension is reloaded every time QLC is executed?

I have checked - More is included in qlcmin_code and qlcsms_code.pjw wrote: Tue Mar 18, 2025 11:49 am PS: Executing QLC227_exe in SMSQmulator I get the error "MORE is not loaded"
Have you loaded qlcsms_code?

Fixed - if initial directory is not found then it defaults to win1_javier2112 wrote: Tue Mar 18, 2025 5:18 pm 1) If I set up an unmounted partition as initial path for a panel, QLC displays the following message error:
"Task QLC227M4 halted, after line 15345. Reason: not found."
(There already was a workaround for this: just use qlcconfig_bas and set the program to start with win1_ in both panels)
Fixed - increased dataspacejavier2112 wrote: Tue Mar 18, 2025 5:18 pm 2) Sometimes, when I try to list the contents or unzip a zip file, I get an error like before close itself:

Note - is bad practice to use filenames that contain space. Also a filename must have no more than 1 underscore that separates the name and extension.
Could not replicate. I started and stopped QLCommander 15 times, and each time I was able to view and extract the zip file.javier2112 wrote: Tue Mar 18, 2025 5:18 pm Another fail arises also when trying to view o extract the contents of a zip file, when you exited from QLC and re-entering it twice o more times.

QLCommander only executes the external zip/unzip/viewzip programs (those included in the kit) - QLC_code has no code for zip.
Please download and test the new version

Oops! I must have missed the memo. I wasnt aware the toolkit code had to be LRESPRed prior. Will it be baked in, as one does, in the final version?
